They should be on the Noticeboard when Pokemon.com decides to release it. Apparently it's on the 5th of next month, but not sure.

If anyone wants to add me on DW (English) my profile is public and is Buzzthebat (the Japanese game is Buzzthebatgirl and wouldn't let me have that this time). Once I've made the Japanese and English game befriend each other, feel free to take rare berries off my Swap Shelf.

God, it's odd seeing all the text in English....

EDIT: Managed to crash the Dream World, by selected to play Ice Cream without having any berries in hand

Attachement is a non-translated section, this should have been tested o_O

I'm really starting to hate Fennel.. :mad:

Am I the only one who still can't get in?

Craguls · 14-04-2011 08:47AM

Nah I'm still locked out

Banjo · 14-04-2011 10:18AM

that's weird - You were getting Fennel before I ever registered....
You might want to try waking your current pokemon and putting another one to bed in case your sleeper got lost in the system during the heavy load of opening night?

I had a couple of issues with the japanese Dreamworld, they were always resolved by waking the 'mon and tucking another in.

Edit : Hurray! My first successful visit. Nothing but Igglybuffs and Sunkerns over the rainbow (2 of each, took a female igglybuff) and no amazing berries but I'll be swimming in Orans by tomorrow lunch and I scored a respectable 63 inches on the icecream scooping game.

Lads is how to you catch a pokemon when two of them appear from the dark green grass. It says it needs to be focused or something. Can they even be caught

You have to make one of them faint first, then you can catch the other one

TheChrisD · 17-04-2011 02:08AM

Holy ****, what happened to catch rate in this generation...

Just streamed a bit of Pokémon Black there on my NGame channel, and went for a bit of legendary hunting.

The results for several Pokémon I caught with supposedly low catch rates, all of which were down to about 5% health, no status conditions:

Cobalion (CR 5) = 4 Dusk Balls
Terrakion (CR 5) = 1 Dusk Ball
Virizion (CR 5) = 5 Dusk Balls
Metang (CR 3) = 8 Dusk Balls
Kyurem (CR 3) = 6 Dusk Balls

elekid · 17-04-2011 03:24PM

Yep, I've found legendaries much easier to catch this generation, no matter what catch rate they have. In fact, of you ones you listed, Metang gave me the most trouble but still wasn't that bad.

Machismo Fan · 17-04-2011 06:44PM

I caught a weakened Reshiram (no status effect) on my first Ultra Ball, a weakened and paralysed Landorus on the second Ultra Ball and none of the other legendaries have gone past my fifth or sixth ball, they're incredibly easy to catch.

A Neurotic · 18-04-2011 03:42PM

Challenger's cave is a bit of a letdown, isn't it? No legendary hiding in there, even though one of the trainers mentioned one? Am I missing something?

elekid · 18-04-2011 04:25PM

Yeah I agree. I spent ages wandering around it, looking for the door to the room with the legendary pokémon in it that I was sure I'd missed. That comment about there being a legendary pokémon there is very misleading. I think it might be a reference to Keldeo but I have no idea.

I reckon it's one of the 3 to be mystery gift evented

Banjo · 18-04-2011 05:24PM

Won't be a WiFi Mystery Gift if Japan is anything to go by - there's Victini, the sneezy-bear, 3 mystery eggs, the Scraggy and the Zoaroark. Might be an in-store event (which from an Irish point of view might as well be "you can only get it if you live in Narnia" event).... I guess we could look it up on Bulbagarden.... or sit on our arses and shine the BuzzSignal on City Hall!

It sounds like Cobalion might have been training Keldeo there in the past, just a guess though. The Keldeo event on Youtube contains mild spoilers and a shiny hack.

Dear Ghetsis,
Please stop being such a c*nt with that damn Hydreigon of yours

Sincerely,
An annoyed trainer

Oh, I forgot it's completely impossible to get pokemon with that move until you finish the game..... If only there was some way to trade with other people around the wporld or have pokemon from previous games in yours :P

Banjo · 19-04-2011 09:48AM

Importing them from other games is also Post-Game stuff.

While you can trade over an Ice Beaming 'mon from another player who's finished the main single player quest, *that* guy had to beat him without Ice Beam or got Ice Beam off someone who did - if you go far enough back up the chain, some one some where had to have done it because they were the first guy to face him. So it's possible. It *has* to be.

I seem to recall using a red-faced-dragon (Druddigon?) to rip him a new one.
(I'm not claiming to be Player Zero, BTW, I just didn't know anyone with Ice Beam

)

elekid · 19-04-2011 10:20AM

Vanillite learns Ice Beam at level 35

Hydreigon is also weak to Fighting and Bug if you have either of those types on your team

Sadly, my Vanilluxe got obliterated by Hydreigon's Fire Blast which makes things a little trickier - a few more levels should help (I think my Vanilluxe is only Lv49 at the moment) but, according to Bulbapedia, Hydreigon has higher speed so my plan was to level my Mienfoo and evolve it, then kick his ass that way :pac:

Banjo · 19-04-2011 12:03PM

Cryoganal learns it early enough too (33). And they're pretty quick on their feet.
Winter's the best time to catch 'em so grab some dusk balls and your lucky cap!

I don't think you can reasonably breed it off the Vanillite or Cryoganal pre-end-game though so those are your options.

Urizen · 23-04-2011 02:15PM

FINALLY caught Crygonal. That thing was a right bitch. Now to put it in storage for all eternity...

I would have traded you it! :rolleyes:

CianRyan · 25-04-2011 06:09PM

First Pokémon I caught when I was in the mountain... Didn't realise it was rare at all, and that wasn't even in winter!

Haha

Just caught Kyurem with one stinkin ultra ball. Just in the red with a burn. Wheres the fun in that! Prepared myself for a marathon battle like mewtoo in firered. Im a liitle disappointed actually

Banjo Fella · 29-05-2011 06:46PM

Wow, the sections of the game between reaching the Elite Four and seeing the credits for the first time are amazing! They really went all out on the cinematics, didn't they? I actually really liked the plot, too, much stronger than the usual fare in that you could actually empathise with the villains' viewpoints. The last few lines of dialogue before the credits were very stirring, too. T'was great stuff, anyway, Black's turning out to be possibly my favourite Pokémon game to date.

Also, I did some preparation before that section of the game, in the form of breeding a Timid Synchronize Munna and training a Haxorus until it had 120 speed. As a result, I managed to catch a Reshiram I'm really happy with (Timid, 15/8/31/23/19/31)! Plus, the new catch mechanics allowed me to catch it in a Premier Ball, so it's appropriately themed.

Buzzthebatgirl · 14-06-2011 12:18PM

Well now here's an interesting development.. but first some backstory:

I have managed to lose my collection of DS game cards. I haven't been able to find my game card box with a Giratina Centipede mode sticker since returning to Dublin, sad is me. Games in the case include Pokémon Diamond US, Pokémon Diamond Spanish, Pokémon Diamond French, Pokémon Diamond JAP, Pokémon Link PAL, Pokémon Pearl US, Pokémon Heart Gold PAL, Pokémon Black JAP, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Sky, Sonic Classic Collection PAL, Scribblenauts US, Band Hero PAL (I know, a lot, I feel like and idiot already). If you found them please return them, I will pay a reward in cash or be your eternal slave, or something other arrangement that's useful for the finder.

Anyway....I lucky kept back up files of all my games up to date on my computer. My sister and I have bought a Pokémon Black DSi for my nephew for Christmas from eBay that is sitting in my gaff. I decided to load my Japanese Black save into the English Black game expecting it to crash.

Oddly enough it didn't. The save file works perfectly, it even has the Charizard Japanese C-Gear skin (could have sworn I had the Victini one on though). The eggs in the party are in English, un-nicknamed Pokémon in the boxes are the default English names, unhatched eggs are still タマゴ, Wondercard titles are in Japanese with the descriptions in English. Dunno yet how it will function with the Dream World as that is currently down for maintenance.

I though it was worth posting. I have ordered a replacement JAP Black second hand from eBay for just over £15, as I wouldn't be keeping my nephew's game as my sister will be taking in a few weeks time and I will still need to do cloning in the future.
